Find Ancestors

I am looking into what happened to my Grandmother Mary Parsons (nee davies) born 1883 soho London. She left my Grandfather Thomas and 9 children around 1915.

We do not know where she went after this. According to the 1939 register there are 3 (listed below) Mary Parsons in London. Please could someone check these out for me. 2 of them look like they have possible names of the children she left.

Thank you
Ann Millington

Mary's DOB, which might help the search for her. There are so many marriages, deaths, and travel records for women named Mary Davis/Davies or Parsons after 1911, that she's hard to find:


Mary Davies
in the England & Wales, Christening Index, 1530-1980
Name: Mary Davies
Gender: Female
Christening Age: 0
Birth Date: 27 Mar 1883
Christening Date: 13 Jun 1883

EDIT:
Actually, the DOB doesn't help much! Internationally, a huge number of Marys were born on that day!
